Resignation Of Comptroller General
Stoney.
RsQGsta. 9Th.

1t became known more or less gen
orally about the city yesterday
morning that Captain VIM. E. Stoney,
Comptroller General since 1882, had
determined to resign his Office and
prepared his letter Of resignation.
Perhaps the rarity of resignation
Of lucrative public office was the
cause of the rapid Speeding of the
news, but certain it is by noon it was
known to most people about town,
was the chief topic of conversation,
and the names Of possible candidates
and their chances OF securing an elec-
ton were freely canvassed.
A representative of the Register
waited upon Captain Stoney and
from him obtained full confirmation
of the report, with the additional in
formation that he should present his
letter Of his resignation to Governor
Richardson today, aid that be
should make the date when his resig-
nation to Governor Richardson 10,
day, and that he should make the
date when his resignation should
take effect either December 22nd or
23d, at any rate before the adjourn
ment Of the Legislature. He said he
had proposed to have it take effect
January lst, as that was the time
when he was to assume the duties Of
his new position as Auditor of the
South Carolina Railway Company,
but as it was a question if the Leg
islature could legally fill vacancy
that would not exist until after their
adjournment, he had decided on an
earlier date that the choice of his
successor might be made by the peo.
pies representatives.
When asked his reasons for resig,
nation, Captain Stoney frankly
stated that for some time he had fully
determined to leave public service
and get into private business, if a
suitable opportunity offered. On
some accounts he should feel regret
in severing the associations of his
present Office, but on others thought
he was doing what was most wise
and to his advantage and happiness.
Captain Stoney's first appearance
in official life was when, on the first
day of May, 1877, he entered the
Office Of the then Comptroller Gen.
eral, Captain Leaphart, as bookeep-
er. After five years faithful service
in that capacity he was in 1882
elected Comptroller General, and
the best evidence of the satisfactory
manner in which be filed the Office
is found in his successive reflections
in 1884 and 1886, and whoever is
elected to fill the vacancy made by
his resignition will serve out that
term.
While the names Of q number of
gentlemen have been already named
in connection with election to the
office to be made vacant, yet so far as
is known few if any of them have
really announced themselves as can
didates, or indeed given any author.
ity for the use of their names.
L, Among those most prominently
mentioned are James S. Werner, Esq,
of Oconee, Hon. J. W. Daniels, of
Anderson, Colonel John P. Thomas,
of Columbia, General St. J. Sinkler,
Of Berkeley, Hon. w. C. Coker, of
Darlington, J. Kuox Livingstone, Of
Marlboro, and Colonel John T. Sloan,
Sr., Clerk Of the House.

0S9 persons employed in such manu-
featuring industries as are claimed
to benefited by high tariff.
To these the appeal is made to
save their employment and maintain
their wages by resisting change.
Where should be no disposition to
answer such suggestions by the allie
cation that they are in minority
among those who labor and therefore
should forego an advantage in the
interest of low prices for the majori
ty. Their compensation as it may
be afec9ed by the operation Of the
tariff laws should at all times be
scrupulously kept i'll view and yet
with slight reflection they will not
overlook the fact that they are con-
sumers with the rest; that they too,
have their own wants and those of
their families to supply from their
earnings, and that the prices of the
necessaries Of life, as well as the
amount of their wages, will regulate
the measure Of their welfare and com
fort; but the reduction of taxation
demanded should be so measured as
not to necessitate or justify either
the loss of employment by the work
ingman nor the lessenig Of his wages,
and the profits still remaining to the
manufacturer, after necessary read
justment, should furnish no excuse
for the sacrifice of the interests of
his employees, either in their oppor
tunity to work or in the diminution
Of their compensation. Nor can the
workers in manufactures fail to un-
derstand that while high tariff is
claimed to be necessary 10 allow the
payment Of remunerative wages, it
certainly results in very large in
crease in the price of nearly all sorts
of manufactures, which in almost
countless forms he needs for the
use of himself and his family. He
receives at the desk of his employer
his wages, and perhaps before he
reaches his home is obliged, in a
purchase for family use of au article
which, embraces his own labor, to re-
torp, in the payment Of the increase
in price which the tariff permits, the
hard earned compensation of many
days Of toll.

The Three C's Railroad
Special to the NeacS and Courier.

= AUGUSTA, GA, December 7.-Col.
johnson, general manager Of the
Three C's Road, and Major Hart,
attorney for the same, have been in
the city since last night. They came
for the purpose of completing the
consolidation Of the Georgia and
Carolina Midland Road with the
Three Cs. They have been in con-
sultation with President Mitchell and
Attorney Gary, of the Georgia and
Carolina Midland. all day, and the
consolidation wiHprobably be closed
tomorrow. The agreement of con-
solidation was made on June l last,
at a meeting in Columbia, provided
the Three C's paid all the debts of
the Georgia and Carolina within
sixty days. These debts, to the
amount of $4,000, have not yet been
paid, and President Mitchell called
a meeting of the Georgia and Caro-
olina Midland at Hamburg for the
next Tuesday. That is what brought
the officials Of the Three Cs here.
President Mitchell stated to your
correspondent to night that there was
no complication on the part of the
Georgia and Carolina Midland, and
that the only complication was the
failure Of the Three C's TO pay the
$4,000. He further said that the
matter would be settled to morrow,
and that the road would be rapidly
constructed, that is, the line to
Augusta would be completed in
twelve months. The entire line ex.

Lamar as a J Journalist.
Philadelphia Meas.

1t may be Lamar's admiration for
newspapers arises from the fact that
the only failure of his life was with
newspaper work. He tells the story
in very laughable way. Shortly
after the war closed Sam Thompson,
the editor of the Oxford Falcon, went
to Lamar and asked him to furnish q
a leading editorial for his paper once
week. Lamar thought the news
paper his sphere and agreed. He had
great ideas Of reforming the press;
that the press was a power, and evi-
den:ly thought that the Lamar edi-
torial would turn the Mississippi
upside down, and that in its new
position, it would be nothing else
but true, besutiful and good.
He then commenced to grind
out his editorials by the yard, and he
says:
cat first Victor came himself after
my manuscript. The second week or
so he sent boy, and the third or
fourth week I had to send my man.
uscript down by messenger. In the
meantime it had been advertised all
over the country that the note d L. Q
G. Lamar would write editorials for
the Oxford Falcon, and watched the
exchanges to gee them copied. The
papers did not seem to care for nv
editorials. and they would take up
nasty little "squibs," which seemed
to me then to be Insignificant, written
by Victor Thompson, and pass by
my serious thoughts. I concluded
after time that I was not fitted for
an editorial writer, and rather think
that Victor thought so too.''

Tricks Outfit Found.

Under Sheriff Escher went to Golden,
Colorado, about the middle of last week.
He was accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Cressler, of Sheridan county, Kansas
Mr.. Cressler had missed a team of mules
from his place, ten miles north of Hoxie.
Subsequent explorations in the field of
fendishness demonstrated that the same
outfit had taken this team and Mr.
Tricks team of horses. Cressler's mules
had been found and brought home. The
idea with him and fischer was to 60 back
to where the mules had been found, and
see what other find could be struck.
Mr.. Tricks buggy and set of harness
were found at Golden by these men. Es-
cher sent word to Prick, who went out
there last Sunday, and returned home
Thursday morning, after having sold his
goods in preference to bringing them
home.
Fischer and Cressler did some hunting
for thieves as far down the country as
Leadville. One suspicioned fellow was
caught, and he gave $500 bond to be
at court.
Mr.. Fischer reached home last Wednes-
day morning.

Appearances indicate that Abilene, like

substantial lunch for this summer. You
can't get enough ball players together in
Wa-Keeney to play a game of "two cor

lots.
Things at the "Kansas State Forestry
Station No. l." seven miles east of here,
are moving along nicely. The young
trees thus far set out are doing finely, and
the seed planted is all up and growing.
This is the outcome of Col. Tlton's bill,
and will undoubtedly prove q grand
thing for this part of the state. Commits
sioner Robb understands his business
thoroughly, and will make the state for
estry stations success if such thing is
possible.
